The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the angles made by the resultant vector with vectors A and B, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have two vectors, \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\), and their resultant vector \(\vec{R}\) makes an angle \(\alpha\) with \(\vec{A}\) and an angle \(\beta\) with \(\vec{B}\). We need to analyze the relationship between these angles based on the magnitudes of the vectors. ### Step 2: Analyze the Angles The resultant vector \(\vec{R}\) will be more inclined towards the vector that has a greater magnitude. This means: - If \(|\vec{A}| < |\vec{B}|\), then \(\vec{R}\) will be closer to \(\vec{B}\) and \(\beta\) will be smaller than \(\alpha\). - If \(|\vec{A}| > |\vec{B}|\), then \(\vec{R}\) will be closer to \(\vec{A}\) and \(\alpha\) will be smaller than \(\beta\). - If \(|\vec{A}| = |\vec{B}|\), then \(\alpha\) will equal \(\beta\). ### Step 3: Establish Relationships From the above analysis: 1. If \(|\vec{A}| < |\vec{B}|\), then \(\beta < \alpha\). 2. If \(|\vec{A}| > |\vec{B}|\), then \(\alpha < \beta\). 3. If \(|\vec{A}| = |\vec{B}|\), then \(\alpha = \beta\). ### Step 4: Evaluate the Options Now, we can evaluate the given options based on the relationships established: - **Option 1**: If \(|\vec{A}| < |\vec{B}|\), then \(\beta < \alpha\) (Incorrect). - **Option 2**: If \(|\vec{A}| > |\vec{B}|\), then \(\alpha < \beta\) (Correct). - **Option 3**: If \(|\vec{A}| = |\vec{B}|\), then \(\alpha = \beta\) (Incorrect). ### Conclusion From our analysis, we can conclude that the correct relationship is: - If \(|\vec{A}| > |\vec{B}|\), then \(\alpha < \beta\).
